SNMP Access Control Group
Use the
SNMP Access Control Group
page to configure SNMP access control groups. These SNMP groups allow
network managers to assign different levels of authorization and access rights to specific device features
and their attributes. The SNMP group can be referenced by the SNMP community to provide security and
context for agents receiving requests and initiating traps as well as for management systems and their tasks.
An SNMP agent will not respond to a request from a management system outside of its configured group,
but an agent can be a member of multiple groups at the same time to allow communication with SNMP
managers from different groups. Several default SNMP groups are preconfigured on the system.

SNMP Access Control Group
SNMP Access Control Group Fields
Field
Description
Group Name
The name that identifies the SNMP group.
Context Name
The SNMP context associated with the SNMP group and its views. A user or a management application
specifies the context name to get the performance information from the MIB objects associated with
that context name. The Context EngineID identifies the SNMP entity that should process the request
(the physical router), and the
Context Name
tells the agent in which context it should search for the
objects requested by the user or the management application.
SNMP Version
The SNMP version associated with the group.
Security Level
The security level associated with the group, which is one of the following:
•
No Auth No Priv
No authentication and no data encryption (no security). This is the only Security
Level available for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 groups.
•
Auth No Priv
Authentication, but no data encryption. With this security level, users send SNMP
messages that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but no DES key/password for encryption.
•
Auth Priv
Authentication and data encryption. With this security level, users send an MD5
key/password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption.
